4.0 out of 5 stars A perfect book for the young gardener, April 7, 2000

This review is from: Tropical Flowers (Periplus Nature) (Hardcover)

Lavishly illustrated with full colour photographs on every page, this book is perfect for the young gardener. Written in a simple, concise yet entertaining fashion, this book describes some of the popular flowering plants found in the gardens of Southeast Asia (one species to a page). Though thin, this book manages to squeeze in much of the important information on each plant including the common and scientific names. In addition, the sidebars also list the common names of each species in Thai and Malay which would be useful in trying to find these plants in Thailand, Malaysia or Indonesia.
